    Default repeat multiple steps on another WCS?

    Hello,
    So I know there is a way to loop an operation in G-Code, and I know i could use manual entry in mastercam to do it, but I was wondering - is there a way in MasterCAM to just select a whole group and tell it to do each operation on multiple WCS - like G54, then G55, etc?
    It seems like that would be a very desirable feature but I can't find anything for that, and manually inserting a loop command before and after every operation could get tedious and would be more prone to error than something automatic.

    And i should ask this in the HAAS forum but while I'm posting about this, but if I can't have MasterCAM do it automatically, do any of you guys know the actual commands for a HAAS to loop and repeat something in another WCS? I found some info on non-HAAS stuff but haven't seen the right code for a HAAS yet.

    Thanks,
    -Taylor

    If I get what your talking about use the Toolpath Transform.

    Translate,Toolplane, Work Offset numbering ( assign new )

    Donkey Hotey went through this in detail a couple of months back; he wrote a detailed description which you should find in his Posts. Click on his name and the menu gives you the choice of show all posts by.

    An open mind is a virtue...so long as all the common sense has not leaked out.
